Alan Sondheim: We teleported people into an installation which has been constructed over a period of eight months. It represents nothing of architecture, fantasy, or surrealism; it's a space unlike anything in the real world. It's difficult to move through, a field of alien processes which has a life of its own. Sandy Baldwin and I will dance through and around it - on the ground, in the air, and on the ocean floor. Part of the dance will be based on learning to move around; part will be based on adding to the clutter.

This may well be the first time that an extended phenomenology of a virtual world has been attempted; the installation has changed almost daily for a period of eight months.
